I came to the meeting after the Expo in June. I have to say I was made
most welcome, several people offered me drinks and after Defragging the
tables an effort was made to introduce us all Name/Distro/Editor etc...
Having said this there were two factions in the bar with all the locals
in one table and I think all the guests on the defraged table by the
loos!

Thanks
